I have been lurking in the background long enough after being told about the forum from another member.
I bought a 2004 3.0i scrapper :fuelfire: just coming up to a year ago now. Over the last year i have done the basic maintenance and service, roof replaced then fixed with the help of the forum member who told me about the site, red Msport seats and door cards fitted, Simota carbon fibre air intake, full Musway sound system running off Musway amps replacing the 10 speaker set up, MTEC disks and pads, clear rear lights, number plate plinth cut down for the registration (came with the car, can only assume there a ABBA fan🫤)

Thanks for the welcome. The cathedral is lovely, but that's more of my wife's thing she often goes.
That's the scrapper doing a scrap run, but she's getting there.

Welcome to the forum. I would be interested to hear more about your audio upgrade: why you thought it was needed (the 10 speaker set up isn’t bad) and how you went about it.

Thanks Zedebee, basically the car came without a dsp amp, and i couldn't find one locally. So I spoke to Allwoods audio, who do a plug and play dsp amp, and it snowballed from there to replacing the lot. That's what I have used, plus two Musway subs. It's all plug and play stuff and the sound quality and adjustability through the app is brilliant. Ran a second amp for the subs to get the most out of them.
